PaperArtsy Stamp Release with Sara Naumann

Well I am thrilled to be very much a part of the new Eclectica stamp release at PaperArtsy tonight. Sara Naumann has two new stamps sets being released, along with two new matching stencils and I am absolutely delighted to be sharing the samples I have made for this release using these two new stamp sets.You can find all the details of the stamp release at PaperArtsy and you might also like to check out this video by Leandra where you can see all the stamps and samples made.

My samples have been made using ESN19 and ESN20 along with the new release Fresco Finish colours: Tinned Peas, London Night, Brown Shed, Space Cadet and my all time favourite Nougat.

This 5 x 7 plate was a mixture of the two stamp sets. I used Brown Shed for the background spraying a watery version onto a gessoed background and again with Nougat for the frame of the clock.

A 6 x 6 plate using ESN20, Stencil 027 and London Night and Nougat.

ESN20 and Stencil 026 but this time with Tinned Peas and Nougat.

ESN19 and Stencil 026 with Space Cadet and Nougat.All my backgrounds were created on PaperArtsy Heavy Grey/White Board which I gessoed first before applying Grunge Paste through the stencils. I wanted a lighter colour of Fresco Paint so diluted the paint with water in some old spray bottles and got these wonderful light, fresh colours.

I used some additional PaperArtsy text stamps to give a vintage feel.

On this piece the clock was stamped with white embossing powder as a resist and the quote stamped on tissue before being applied directly to the board.

There are some lovely little sentiments on the stamp sets which are just perfect for little labels.

And finally a tag with a brayered background using London Night, Brown Shed, Space Cadet and Nougat.

The flower and ribbon were sprayed with Brown Shed and the leaves stamped with Tinned Peas and edged with Brown Shed.If you have got this far well done !!!! I do hope you have enjoyed this release as much as I have enjoyed being part of it. Both stamp sets are just delightful with wonderful quotes and elements to go with them. They are fast becoming a favourite of mine already. Do hop on over to PaperArtsy to see the whole release and of course more samples by the rest of Team Sara!

Wonderful samples Jennie and I can see that these stamps would be right up your street! (They are my favourites too of the new releases so far).Adore the subtlety and soft colours of your projects, very beautiful!
